Assignment Question
Labor delivery – consider that this small, 18-bed rural hospital is physically located in Israel.
Prepare your initial discussion posting consisting of two parts:
Part 1 – Briefly describe the healthcare system in your assigned country. Evaluate the healthcare system from the cost, quality, access, and challenges. Compare it to the healthcare system in the United States.
Part 2 – Assume that you are the Manager of the Social Services Department at this hypothetical rural hospital that is located in your assigned country. Based on your observations in the LearnScapes scenario and a review of the available literature, develop a formal recommendation to the hospital’s ethics committee regarding the continuation of the labor and delivery service line.
When making this recommendation, take into consideration issues related to access, cost, quality, and continuity of service. Furthermore, give thoughtful consideration the internal and external factors that have an impact on the decision to continue or discontinue this service. The recommendation needs to be well supported, logically presented, and thoroughly vetted. Initial Posting The initial posting should be prepared as a Microsoft™ Word document, and then attached to the unit discussion thread. There is no minimum or maximum in terms of the word count; however, the response should explicitly address all required components of this discussion assignment. The document should be prepared as a practical business deliverable (single-spaced) and reflect higher-level cognitive processing (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation). Support the initial posting with at least 3 references of credible or peer-reviewed sources. The in-text citations and the list of references should be consistent with the APA writing style (7th ed.). To earn the maximum number of points for the initial posting, the overall quality of the writing should be consistent with that expected of a graduate student and industry professional.
